LQ 20: Mozart: DG
With opera, it is important to study the lyrics before listening to
the music. This scene contains three primary sections. It begins
with
1) a song (aria) sung by Donna Elvira (with some side
comments by Don Giovanni and Leporello); continues with
2) a dialogue (recitative) sung by all three characters; and
concludes with
3) a song (aria) sung by Leporello.
Here are the lyrics:
Ah, chi mi dice mai, Ah, who can tell me
quel barbaro dov'è? where that cruel one is?
Donna Elvira
Che per mio scorno amai, I loved him, to my shame,
che mi mancò di fè. and he broke his pledge to me.
Ah, se ritrovo l'empio, Ah, if I find that evil one,
e a me non torna ancor, and he doesn't return to me,
vo' farne orrendo scempio, I'll make a horrible scene,
gli vo' cavar il cor! I'll rip his heart out!
Udisti? Qualche bella dal vago You hear? A lovely one
Don Giovanni
abbandonata? Poverina! abandoned by her lover. Poor girl!
(to Leporello)
Cerchiam di consolare il suo tormento. Let's try to ease her pain.
Leporello (aside) (Così ne consolò mille e ottocento.) (Just as he consoled 1,800 of them.)
Let's start with Donna Elvira's aria. Fill in the blank in the
statement below.
Before Don Giovanni and Leporello make side comments to
one another, Donna Elvira sings two stanza(s) of lyrics
(individual paragraphs).
Notice the rhyming pattern of the first part of Donna Elvira's
aria, in Italian:
Ah, chi mi dice mai, Ah, who can tell me
quel barbaro dov'è? where that cruel one is?
Donna Elvira
Che per mio scorno amai, I loved him, to my shame,
che mi mancò di fè. and he broke his pledge to me.
Ah, se ritrovo l'empio, Ah, if I find that evil one,
e a me non torna ancor, and he doesn't return to me,
vo' farne orrendo scempio, I'll make a horrible scene,
gli vo' cavar il cor! I'll rip his heart out!
Which best describes the Italian lyrics for this section of Donna
Elvira's aria?
There are two stanzas, each with four lines and a similar rhyming pattern in the Italian text.
While Donna Elvira sings about her desire to rip out the heart of
a lover who left her, Don Giovanni and Leporello observe her
secretly. They make some comments to one another, beginning
with "You hear?" and ending with "Just as he consoled 1,800 of
them."

excerpt, then fill in the blanks below.
first half of Catalogue Aria
0:09
This aria is in two parts: the first references a catalog of the

number of women Giovanni has wooed in each country, plus a
list of the social classes to which those women belonged. This
half of Leporello's aria is in a quick tempo with one note sung
per syllable of text.
In the video above, before Leporello sings about Spain, the

music slows, and he even pauses. Mozart writes such music for
this moment in Leporello's aria in order to
emphasize that Spain is where Giovanni has wooed the
greatest number of women.
In the second half of his aria, Leporello charts out all of the
compliments Giovanni bestows on different types of women:
what he says to blondes, to brunettes, and to older women with
white hair. Elvira learns that what Giovanni has said to her, he
has also said to hundreds of other women.
